asterisk users - May 2007 - The downside of Asterisk and least cost routing...

I forgot to pay this month's phone bill, and never noticed until family
(the in-laws, who are too cheap to try the cell phone if landline fails,
because it is 'more expensive') told me they were unable to reach us...

As it turns out, the phone company disconnected us, but because Asterisk
routes all outgoing calls in the Netherlands over VoipBuster, I never
noticed anything!  ;-)

If I'd given out my VoipBuster DID, I'd probably still wouldn't
know!
*ROFLOL*

It gives me pause though... Maybe it's time to get rid of my fixed line...
 ;-)

No ;-) needed - I have friends on cable internet with no separate copper 
phone line now.

I'd consider it myself if I weren't tied to having ADSL over my phone 
line, and as yet there isn't a way to separate them (in the UK)

I suppose I should have added the qualifier that we need to be able to
port our existing fax number over to the new service :)

Would this still be possible? (All these services have numbers in remote
area codes or have 800 numbers).

Can anybody suggest one that will take a ported number (in Canada)?
